A tall, tightly proportioned sans with strongly condensed letterforms and a clean, constructed rhythm. Curves are drawn from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel, while stems stay straight and even. Terminals are largely flat and blunt, with occasional subtle rounding at corners; joins are crisp and the overall stroke treatment reads controlled and consistent. The lowercase is compact and tidy, with simple single-storey forms and restrained apertures, and the numerals follow the same narrow, vertical logic for a uniform texture.
Best suited to space-conscious display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a tall condensed presence is desirable. It can also work for signage and UI labels when a clean, engineered look and efficient horizontal footprint are priorities.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, leaning toward a technical, urban sensibility. Its condensed stance and squared-round curves create a confident, utilitarian voice that feels suited to modern systems and graphic layouts rather than expressive calligraphy.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, modern sans voice built from superelliptical geometry, prioritizing a strong vertical silhouette and a consistent, system-like rhythm for graphic communication.
The design maintains a strong vertical emphasis, producing a steady columnar texture in text. Rounded-rectangle counters keep forms legible despite the narrow build, and the simplified constructions help the font hold together in dense settings.
